Description
Scope and content: A small collection of baseball scorecards from Nashville Vols games from 1936-1940. Scorecards contain lineups with player names and positions, and have been completed to record the action of each game by fan Mel Dodson. Opponents include teams from around the Southeast, including Chattanooga, Memphis, and Little Rock. All scorecards are from Vols home games, except for one away game held in Memphis. One scorecard from May 19, 1937 bears an annotation as being the first night game, but this may refer to the first night game of the season, rather than the first night game at Sulphur Dell ballpark, which according to newspaper coverage in the Nashville Banner newpspaper, indicates it was on May 18, 1931. Scorecards also serve as programs and contain numerous advertisements for various Nashville businesses, and hotels in Nashville and other cities where the Vols likely played.

The Vols were part of the Southern League, later the Southern Association, and competed against teams from around the Southeast. In 1939, Larry Gilbert came on as manager, and in 1940, the Vols won the first of four pennants under his leadership.
